Marinated Beets with Thyme

You can enjoy this neutral dish either cooked or raw.

4 medium beets, roasted* and cubed, or raw** and shredded
½ medium red onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme, picked off sprigs
½ grapefruit, juice and zest
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Toss all ingredients together.

*Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap whole, unpeeled beets with tinfoil and bake in oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft when pierced with a knife. To remove the skins easily, throw the warm beets in a paper bag and rub the bag till the skins slide off.

**Want this recipe raw? Substitute roasted beets for raw beets, shredded or julienned for easier absorption of marinade.
